Chelsea were interested last summer and I believe the interest remains to some extent.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks. Maybe we could get persic and icardi. Do you have any info on Antonio colak and tamura asano?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Asano remains of interest and an offer has been made. I am not aware of Hoffenheim being open to selling Colak.}

29 Jun 2016 20:37:05
Would asano have to go on loan?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It depends on what is paid for him and the wages.}

Hi eds do you know if Arsenal are in talk with or interested in draxler this summer?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I am not aware of Arsenal doing anything this summer, with regards to Draxler.}

29 Jun 2016 13:03:28
That's a shame draxler or Reus would have made good Arsenal signings.

Hello ed, higuain agent has said that he will not sign a new contract at napoli, would this make arsenal and others more interested to sign him and if so, do u expect him to leave?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - I expect him to leave, but I would expect PSG to be his likely move.}

29 Jun 2016 13:48:43
Would u think arsenal would at least put in a bid for higuain and surprise everyone by getting him? And also ed is barbosa a striker or winger? In other words is he vardys replacement?

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Jun 2016 15:06:09
As far as I'm aware, Apex, Barbosa can play anywhere across that front 3, but plays mainly on the right, cutting in onto his preferred left foot.

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Jun 2016 16:23:17
Thanks D, i dunno why ed didn't reply.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - my mistake, I did reply but most have clicked to shut the ed's note before sending and not noticed.}

Not sure how true but heard were in talks with Lacazett after a 45mil bid any truth in this does anybody know.

The problem is, Arsenal are going to be linked with every striker from now till the last second of deadline day.

We as a club, need a better quality starting striker than Giroud.
We, as a fan base, almost unanimously want a striker more than any other position.

The papers/ websites are going to capitalise on this like there's no tomorrow.
To be fair I would too, if I could garner a few hundred quid every time I linked Arsenal to a new striker.
In fact, from when I woke up today at 7, till now, I'd probably of posted about 8 different 'advanced talks for X striker' stories.


But I digress.
I know Lacazette's got fairly good stats, but I just cannot see us paying a fee similar to Özil or Sanchez for a 'good' player, even if they would potentially improve us.
I must admit, I don't watch much, if any Ligue 1, so I'm basically going off my limited knowledge of French football, but didn't Lacazette play most/ a lot of his game time this season on the wing?

The football world has changed, £30-40m used to be a LOT of money for a player.
But now you've got apparent bids from West Ham and Palace of £30m for Batshuyai (apologies if I've butchered that name) you've got players like Xhaka, who does seem a cracking signing on paper, moving for over £30m, 5 years ago, a player of his calibre is moving for £25.32 and 6 packs of pickled onion monster munch (yes, I like to exaggerate) so we can see that finally, Arsene is adapting this money talks attitude, but I'm not sure he's ready to fully commit, it's like buying your nan a mobile phone, she'll slowly start using the calls, but there's no way you're getting her to text.

So for me personally, I've decided I'm just not going to pay attention to the papers till September (no matter how much I'd like to sign Barbosa) and instead, focus my frustration and anger on how seeing just how much the England national team can disappoint me.

Thanks for the reply mate thought I'd ask the question and England was always doomed having that many kids in the squad they always fail towards the end.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jun 2016 07:35:23
We were doomed because there was to many spurs players in the English side chocker time.

Are we looking at any goal keepers this summer, or ospina staying at Arsenal?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

29 Jun 2016 11:30:24
In my humble (and often incorrect) opinion, I reckon we'll see Szczesny go back on loan.

Then if Ospina goes, Martinez or Macey will be second choice, if Ospina stays, then it's all good.

ends Arsenal have been linked with a bid for Gabriel Barbosa, is this true and has it been accepted and how much is the bid (if it is real) he looks like a very exciting player.
thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - arsenal are very interested brad but whether an official bid has been made is speculation at this point, its complicated as he has dual ownership and the work permit issue will be crucial to the proceedings mate..

30 Jun 2016 06:55:40
thanks Ed025! I personally hope that we pull this one off as he looks very talented. looks like a long summer is ahead of us Gooners!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - it should be interesting brad as all the players linked are quality mate..
